So 9 years have passed since the wedding. Psychologists believe that this is a crisis date - most divorces occur on the 3rd, 7th and 9th anniversaries of family life. However, others believe that if this milestone is behind us, then there is no need to be afraid of troubles - the spouses have already “got used to” each other, the dangerous points in the mainstream of family life are known, a way to bypass the reefs and rapids also seems to have been found. But you shouldn’t relax and let life take its course - you should always maintain the fire of love and the warmth of respect.
A reminder of this will be the anniversary celebration - a faience wedding. Behind are already fragile fabrics, paper and wood, ringing metal cast iron, copper and bronze. Faience is a symbol of familiar comfort, an image of home tea drinking in soft armchairs by the fireplace. But earthenware is fragile and fragile - it was accidentally dropped, it was washed not with warm but with hot water, it was not cleaned on time - and so the comfort ended. Remember to take care of each other.
Beautiful traditions and rituals
According to ancient customs, on the day of a faience wedding, in the morning the husband gives his wife a bouquet of daisies, they kiss each other and are no longer separated all day.
If you need to go to the store, they go together; if the wife cooks in the kitchen, the husband helps. They also greet guests together.
The beginning of the holiday is marked by the joint breaking of old dishes. 9 plates are selected and the spouses throw each one on the floor.
Among the “sacrificial” dishes you can include a plate with grievances and claims written by each spouse. At the same time, guests count to 9, accompanying each plate with wishes of happiness. Then the spouses need to kiss... and the guests count again.
Changes are thrown into a pile of fragments for good luck. Then the housewife removes the trash. If he starts with coins, the husband is congratulated on being a thrifty wife. If from the fragments - compliments to the wife and wishes for cleanliness and order in the house.
How to celebrate a faience anniversary
In the hustle and bustle of everyday life, we often spend very little time with our loved ones. But family is one of the most important values for a person. There are many ways to celebrate the 9th anniversary of a faience wedding. It all depends on the preferences of the spouses, availability of free time, and budget. And how - this is the choice of each couple.
- You can arrange a mini-honeymoon for a few days. Go out of town or to the nearest beautiful and quiet place. To the mountains, forest, to the seashore. Spend a few days away from household chores, enjoying each other.
- You can organize a holiday at home, gathering all your relatives and friends at one table. In addition to food and drinks, guests can be entertained with comic competitions. As a rule, those closest to you are invited to such events, which means a relaxed atmosphere will reign in the company. All guests will have something to chat about, something to remember, something to laugh at.
When choosing a place to celebrate your 9th wedding anniversary, take into account the weather conditions and the prepared earthenware wedding scenario. An ideal option would be a picnic in nature. It is better to choose a place not far from a chamomile meadow in order to preserve the symbolism of the celebration.
Congratulations and gifts from friends and acquaintances
Since the holiday is associated with something cozy and homely, the best gifts would be something for the home:
- tableware - personalized plates, personalized mugs, tureen, baking pots;
- teaware;
- jugs for milk and juice;
- cute kitchen little things - cheese board, fruit bowl, spice sets;
- flower vases, wall decorative plates;
- paired bathrobes with daisies;
- cozy sofa cushions with daisies;
- various figurines for home decoration.
It’s worth talking about figurines in more detail.
A good gift would be figurines with designated movement - flow, take-off, dance, symbolizing progress in life, the development of positivity in family relationships.
The cat is a symbol of fertility and protector of the home, the personification of grace and elegance. The dog is a symbol of protection and devotion.
Elephant - destroys negative influences, supports the head of the family in all matters, attracts prosperity for the family and home. The swan is the bird of love and fidelity. Zebra is a symbol of diversity of life and optimism.
The main thing is that sculptures should not have sharp corners or ugly outlines.
If the owners of the house are not homebodies yet, give them a trip to some cozy country with good service and beautiful nature. Or tickets to the theater, to a concert, to an exhibition.
You can also sing them their favorite song or “create” a family chronicle “Happy 9th Wedding Day” in pictures and photographs.
What to give to parents for a faience wedding
What do children give for a faience wedding? They can give their beloved parents:

Congratulations to the husband from his wife on his 9th wedding anniversary

- medal “for fidelity” or “the best husband of all times and peoples”;

Congratulating your husband on his 9th wedding anniversary is a responsible matter, so you can add to the list taking into account his interests.
Editorial advice
Nine years of marriage - although not a round date, it marks an entire era of family relationships. Therefore, the spouses try to celebrate this day on a grand scale. For your earthenware wedding anniversary, you can choose a common gift or give something separately to each spouse.
Try to stick to the theme of earthenware and daisies in your gifts. Even if the main gift is on a completely different theme, add a small ceramic figurine, give the bride a chamomile bouquet, bring cupcakes decorated with cream daisies.
Is it possible to give money
With so many gifts to choose from, there is no need to give money. But if you don’t have enough time to choose a gift, you can give a certain amount in a gift envelope to celebrate your wedding anniversary.
Friends and acquaintances can give up to 1000 rubles, parents and relatives 2000. This will be quite enough for a non-round wedding date.
If you want to give money in an original way, put it in a ceramic piggy bank with an inscription for which the spouses must save a certain amount. Or give a tree with banknotes instead of leaves. But it’s better to give cash gifts without pomp and attracting unnecessary attention.
How to give a gift in an unusual way
Turn gift giving into part of the show at your earthenware wedding party. Set up a quest for a couple so that they can use clues to find gifts hidden in different places. Or have them participate in humorous competitions and award prizes for every task they complete correctly.
If you are giving a table set for an earthenware wedding, put the broken pieces in a fake box, package them beautifully and drop them on the floor just before the presentation. The roar of fragments and your cries of regret will discourage the couple, and then you will give them a real gift.
An original gift presentation will be a large box filled with miniature balloons. Place the prepared gift down, fill the box to the brim with helium balloons and pack. When the couple opens the gift, the balls will fly up, and the gift will remain at the bottom of the box.
What not to give
Although there are many gift options for your ninth wedding anniversary, there are some things that are best not given on this special day.
Bad gift ideas:
- items associated with superstitions - knives, towels, mirrors, empty wallets and boxes;
- a toilet is not the best gift even for a faience wedding;
- toys from an intimate goods store;
- things hinting at the birth of children, if the couple has not yet acquired offspring;
- pets without prior marital approval;
- antiques, unless the couple collects antiques.
You should not prepare an impression gift for a couple without prior approval. Spouses may have other plans for this day, or they prefer to spend their free time differently, and they will not like the surprise.
The 9th wedding anniversary is a rehearsal for the first anniversary of marriage. And let nothing overshadow this holiday. Spouses should show more attention to each other and remember the vows they made on their wedding day. And we invite guests invited to celebrate such an important day to follow our recommendations and show imagination when choosing gifts to please the newlyweds.
Congratulations, gifts for wife
A gift that is pleasant to every woman - attention, tenderness and affection. Countdown from the first bouquet of daisies in the morning until the end of your life. But seriously, taking into account her tastes:
- jewelry with a pattern of daisies;
- a beautiful box for ladies' little things;
- fashionable clothes with a pattern of daisies;
- favorite cosmetics;
- personalized set of chocolate goodies.
And then - everything she loves, because congratulating your beloved woman on her 9th wedding anniversary is gratitude for all 9 years.
A little history
The ninth anniversary of marriage is called a "faience" wedding. Earthenware is a beautiful, but fragile material that requires care and precision. Nine years of married life is also considered an important period in which the first major crises in the family usually occur. And maintaining mutual understanding in a couple requires as much care as earthenware.
Also, the 9th wedding anniversary is called a “chamomile” wedding. This flower is considered a symbol of devotion, love and mutual understanding. Since chamomile is part of nature, according to old traditions it is recommended to celebrate this date outside. But if weather conditions do not allow holding a celebration outdoors, then you can limit yourself to only decorative elements in the form of daisies.

The number "9" has a mystical meaning. It is believed to bring prosperity. And this is exactly what a married couple needs to keep their family together for many years.
Congratulations on your 9th wedding anniversary in prose
Earthenware wedding...The name exudes coziness, warmth and homely smells. It’s so good that all the storms, life’s confusion and the search for oneself are already behind us. And you have formed into a single being that feels and thinks synchronously. We built a family, a house. Now grow a garden...And let beautiful flowers of understanding and respect grow in your garden. May the birds of love sing there and winter never come. *** How everything is consistent in life... At first, a man sculpted clumsy pottery from clay. Then I learned how to fire this clay. The clay endured, changed color, strengthened and turned into earthenware. And man invented new tests for clay - the firing temperature was higher, the time was longer... And the clay, having passed these tests, turned into almost transparent, luminous and singing noble porcelain. So it is with you - you are no longer clay, but durable and beautiful earthenware. You have been hardened by difficulties. May the strength and beauty of your union grow with you.
Congratulations on your 9th wedding day in verse
Our fragile happiness is not eternal, But how much has been given to us: Peace, warmth and love are endless, And wine plays in jugs. You can maintain balance - you just need to take care and love. And touch the soul carefully, so as not to break this vessel. *** Faience wedding. There is a home, comfort, warmth... And you, why hide it, are lucky to have each other. There are two children in the bed, running around and sniffling. And this spring you will plant a garden.
How to surprise your spouse with an original gift?
A gift for your husband on his ninth marriage anniversary can be special and unusual. Such a surprise will not only remind your spouse of you, but also lift your spirits. In particular, the original idea will be appropriate for a lover of new sensations and impressions.
- Tickets for a sports game . If your husband loves some kind of sport, then he will be glad to have the opportunity to attend an important championship or competition. Most often, men are interested in football, hockey or basketball, but there may also be other sports. When purchasing tickets, you should take your husband's opinion into account.
- Puzzle calendar is an unusual and stylish surprise. It is especially suitable for a creative person. It can be designed in different ways, highlighting the desired dates.
- Mini thermos of unusual shape . For example, in the form of a camera lens. This original thermal mug is suitable for a man who spends a lot of time driving.
Thermal glass “Private property of a man”
- Hookah with a set of elite tobacco. If you want the gift to match the theme of the celebration, then choose a product with a porcelain base.
- A quadcopter is a modern “toy” that appeals to most men. A remote controlled helicopter also falls into this category.
Finding a non-standard gift has always been a difficult task, as it requires maximum imagination and originality. The choice is especially difficult for a spouse who has been given a lot of gifts over the years of marriage. But with a little effort, you can please your husband with a long-awaited and pleasant surprise.
Romantic surprises
Even after 9 years of marriage, romance remains in the lives of most people. And romantic surprises further strengthen relationships, giving moments of joy and a lot of pleasant memories. This category includes both material gifts and events. These ideas may differ significantly from each other, but they all have a common goal - to show your spouse how important he is to you.
- Couple gifts . Such gifts will show your couple as an inseparable whole and emphasize mutual feelings. For example, you can choose a couple of original mugs. Personal photos on the surface of the mugs will make them unique and valuable. These can be photos of you together or alone.
- Gingerbread or heart-shaped cakes . They can be purchased at a confectionery store or made to order. The advantage of handmade sweets is the opportunity to choose their taste and appearance. To top it off, you can order a photo of you together on food paper.
- Weekend at a luxury hotel . A change of scenery has always been considered an excellent relaxation option. By booking a room in a luxury hotel, you can feel like a newlywed again, at least for a couple of days.
- Romantic city tour . You can simply enjoy a trip around the city or visit the places where your relationship began (meeting place, first date, etc.). Ordering a limousine for such a trip will allow you both to enjoy the trip without unnecessary worries.
- A candlelit dinner is a classic among romantic surprises that never gets old. A pleasant atmosphere, delicious food and a beloved woman nearby are three simple components that make many men happy.
- Family picnic alone with your spouse or in the company of friends and relatives. But such a surprise is more suitable for the warm season.
- Joint SPA treatments . Since the surprise is also intended for the husband, it is worth abandoning standard female procedures. A relaxing massage will be the best option for both women and men. Such a pastime will give you a lot of positive emotions and health benefits.
Romance is an integral part of most couples. It allows you to fill relationships with new emotions. Romantic gifts are pleasant for everyone, even men. But their taste is different from women’s, which is worth remembering when organizing a surprise.
